Activating the Entrepreneurial Mindset
NFTE empowers youth to approach the world with an innovator’s eye and a founder’s grit, not only during the NFTE course but for the rest
of their lives. An entrepreneurial mindset prepares young people for success throughout life.
In partnership with the Educational Testing Service (ETS), NFTE has developed the Entrepreneurial Mindset Index – a valid assessment to measure mindset growth.
We thank EY for its signature support of this effort.

NFTE’s Pathway programs activate the entrepreneurial mindset through authentic experiential learning. All programs are
rooted in a project-based learning model that integrates digital tools and lean startup methodology. Students come up with
their own original business idea, create a sustainable business model and plan, and pitch to a panel of expert judges.
